Over the years there have been a number of professional wrestling who have been able to crossover into the world of mixed martial arts. Names like Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley and Jake Hager have all managed to pick up victories in the MMA world. Now that UFC and WWE are both owned by the same company it seems that there’s potential for more names to possibly crossover in the future.
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Stephanie Vaquer was asked if she would ever step into the octagon to compete in UFC someday, and she expressed interest in a possible crossover.
“I love UFC. I love training in Mexico in a performance center for UFC (with) a really good friend, so I’m a big big fan for UFC and I hope one day we can do something together. I know it’s so different discipline with pro wrestling, but with fighter. My friend, Jaula Bahamondes is a- is famous in Chile. It’s a big (deal), and my best friend, like, in fights you know in wrestling so he understand me about the sport, about the discipline. So yeah, I hope one day we can do something together.”
Stephanie Vaquer will be in action this weekend as she’s set to face off against Iyo Sky in a match for the WWE Women’s World Championship at the WrestlePalooza premium live event on Saturday, September 20th.
